We had a nice stay, the staff where polite and friendly, the pool was clean, our child enjoyed the playground, the beds where comfortable. Not luxury but not bad for a family with young kids. We did note a concern that we mentioned to staff. I wouldn't say its as bad as some of the google reviews said but our room definitely needed some maintenance in the bathroom and kitchen.
